- Go to Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 - first draft
Re: clarity
Sorry if it wasn't clear. It's just a spoof on sonnet 18 because that poem's such an ego trip (Did you see the full original text I added afterwards? That might help.) Think of the bard as a kind of knuckle-dragging slacker.

Im not confused, but what the hell are you talking about? If a play is to catch the king--there seems to be something lacking--namely clarity.

Maybe it's just me, but I always thought Will and the others
with their flowery poetry and flamboyant imagery were a bit full of themselves, and the poems were a kind of measuring contest among the poets. I used to get a bigger ego boost from a friendly pat on the butt as my guy picked up a dishtowel and helped do the kitchen cleanup after supper.

Yes it's good Bob, I would hate to treat someone as a muse and then take the glory, without the inspiration where would one be. How could one write of leaves if there were no trees. I admit I had never read it before and my opinion is of no consequence, I just tender a little sympathy for all those woman who have barely been mentioned, who have come under the thrall of great artists as we see them and have never received a deserved mention. Of course this is marvelous writing which must be appreciated.
